Safety and warnings
This product should not be sealed into the bench with silicone or glue. Doing so will make future
servicing difficult. Fisher & Paykel will not be liable for costs associated with releasing such a
product, nor for repairing damage that may be incurred in doing this.
When this product is installed it shall not be used as a space heater, especially if installed in
marine craft or caravans.
No combustible material or products should be placed on this product at any time.
Before you install the appliance, ensure that
the benchtop is square and level and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
there is a minimum of 60 mm between the cutout and the rear or side wall.
if the cutout is less than 100 mm from the wall, some form of protection against heat is used, such
as ceramic tiles.
if the appliance is a CT2802 model, the power supply cable is rated for use at 100OC.
a suitable disconnection switch is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned
to comply with local wiring rules and regulations. A means of disconnection with at least a 3 mm
air gap contact separation in all poles must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules, unless the local wiring rules allow for the following variation of these
requirements: A means of disconnection from the supply having an air gap separation in all
active (phase) conductors must be incorporated into the fixed wiring.
the interconnection cord between the cooktop and the oven or control box will not be accessible
via cupboard doors after installation. This applies to any extension cord as well, even if they are
double-insulated.
you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
the appliance is rated 5.9 kW at 220-240 V (CT560C,CT5602F,CT6551S models) or 3.0 kW at

When you install the appliance, ensure that you comply with the following requirements:
If prolonged use is anticipated, or the cooktop is mounted above a drawer space, a thermal
protection barrier between is recommended AND
Where the base of this product is accessible after installation, a thermal protection barrier MUST
be installed to prevent contact.
If a thermal protection barrier is installed below the cooktop, this barrier must be made of heat
resistant material capable of withstanding sustained exposure to temperatures up to 70 oC,
be at least 30 mm and no greater than 75 mm below the base of the cooktop and have FOUR
ventilation holes or TWO similiar holes for CT2802 models (min 50 mm – max 70 mm diameter,
see Fig. 1 for details). These ventilation holes must be open to free air.
We recommend that the thermal protection barrier be removable, so that the cooktop can be
easily secured with the supplied clamps.
Use easy-to-clean finishes for the wall surfaces surrounding the cooktop, so that cooking fume
staining resulting from using the cooktop is easy to remove.

Using your cooktop
Controls
Depending on your model, your cooktop has two or four individual elements below a ceramic
glass surface.
In CT5602F and CT6551S models, one of the elements is a dual element; you may use either
the full element or the inner element only. See ‘Dual element controls’below.
The diameters of the cooking areas are clearly marked.
The elements become red when turned on full.
The elements are fitted with temperature limiters to prevent the glass from overheating. You
will notice that the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking.
After an element is turned off, its ‘Surface Hot’indicator light will glow until the glass becomes
cool enough to be safely touched.
Single element controls
Turn the control knob of the element you wish to use to the High setting to begin cooking, and
adjust as necessary.
For further advice on cooking, see ‘Cookware and cooking tips’following.

Cookware and cooking tips
To get the best results out of your cooktop, follow the suggestions below.
Cookware
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-bottom cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking area.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans will scratch the cooktop.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can leave a metallic residue on the cooktop. If left
on the glass, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.
Fig.11 Use cookware with flat and smooth bases to
provide good contact with the glass
Cooking tips
The elements of your cooktop operate over a wide range of settings from very low to very high,
giving you accurate and repeatable control of the heat.
Use the low setting for delicate tasks like melting chocolate or keeping milk warm.
For delicate cooking tasks and gentle simmering, you may want to experiment by turning the
control knob below the marked low setting.
Use the high setting for boiling or frying.
Once your food is sufficiently hot or has come to the boil, reduce the temperature to maintain a
steady heat and cook food through.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Use residual heat retained in the glass after the element is turned off to continue the cooking
process or to keep food warm.

Care and cleaning
Important!
Switch the cooktop off at the wall before cleaning.
Cut hazard – When the safety cover is retracted, the blade in the scraper is razor-sharp. Use with
extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents or heavy-duty scourers to clean your cooktop, as they
may scratch the glass surface and damage the stainless steel finish and the knobs.
Some nylon scourers may scratch the ceramic glass surface and damage the stainless steel finish
and the knobs. Always read the label to check if your scourer is suitable for cleaning ceramic glass
cooktops.
Commercial stainless steel cleaners containing chlorine compounds are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of your cooktop. Always read the label to check if your cleaner contains
chlorine.
Use cleaner on the cooktop while it is still warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth
or paper towel. The cooktop may become stained if cleaning residue is left on it.
Remove any food, spillovers or grease from the cooktop while it is still warm using the razor
blade scraper provided. Hold it at a 30o angle.
Cleaning metallic stains
Copper-based or aluminium saucepans may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a
metallic sheen on the cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are
allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and will no longer be
removable. To help prevent such damage, apply a glass cooktop conditioner after every use.
Cleaning melts and spillovers
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content
may cause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if they are left there to cool.
Examples include:
plastic wrap
melted aluminium foil
sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beetroot.
Remove these spills immediately with the razor blade scraper provided, taking care not to
scratch the glass. Follow the steps below:
1
2
3
Turn the elements off and carefully scrape the spill to a cool area of the cooktop surface.
Clean the spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
As soon as the cooktop is cool enough to safely touch, clean with cooktop cleaner.
Cleaning the surround strip
To remove fingerprints and other marks, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry with a lintfree
cloth. Brushed stainless steel (some models only) can also be cleaned with a commercial stainless
cleaner (see ‘Important’ above).
Do not use steel soap pads as this may dull the appearance of the stainless steel over time.
